3D X-ray Histology team is a highly dynamic and multidisciplinary team of scientist and engineers.
Professor Philipp Schneider (PI)
Director (Academic) & Academic Theme Leader μ-VIS,
Philipp Schneider is Associate Professor in Biomedical Imaging. He leads the Wellcome Trust-funded Biomedical Resource and Technology Development project in Engineering and Medicine at UoS to establish the foundations for 3D X-ray histology (XRH) | www.xrayhistology.org
Dr Peter Lackie (co-I)
Academic Lead, Biomedical Imaging Unit
Peter leads and coordinates biomedical aspects of the development of correlative 3D imaging, particularly of human lung. New approaches for the analysis and display of 3D lung datasets from µCT, light sheet microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy are being applied. He is an Associate Professor in the School of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine.
Dr Anton Page (co-I)
Director BIU / Non-Clinical Lecturer within Medicine
Anton is a lecturer, Clinical Scientist and Director of the Biomedical Imaging Unit, a joint University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS)/University of Southampton (UoS) facility for high quality/high resolution diagnostic and research microscopy
Professor Ian Sinclair (co-I)
Academic Theme Leader & Fmr. Director μ-VIS
As founding director of μ-VIS, serving all UoS Faculties, and offered as a national academic and industrial resource, Ian has been involved in all aspects of developing and setting up a shared facility.
Professor Simon Cox (co-I)
Professor of Computational Methods in FEPS
Simon's research focuses on computational tools, technologies and platforms and how they enable interdisciplinary problems to be solved in engineering and science. He served as Universities Chief Information Officer responsible for University's IT systems, information and processes with a team of around 300 staff and is also Director of the Microsoft Institute for High Performance computing
Professor Gareth Thomas (co-I)
Chair of Experimental Pathology, UoS / Consultant Pathologist, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
Gareth is a an oral and maxillofacial pathology expert and his research focuses on understanding how the different cells within a tumour interact to affect patient survival, and cancer spread.
Beamline Scientist / µ-VIS Fellow
Dr Katsamenis' background is in bioengineering sciences, and he takes a leading role in the centre's collaborations with biologists and bioengineers.
Senior Research Fellow / Computational Engineering and Design group, FEPS
Phil's background is in Computer Science and is leading the development of the supporting computation workflows and hardware needed to enable the processing of the data acquired using X-Ray histology.
Principal Scientist, µ-VIS
Dr Boardman's research interests lie in 3D image processing and manipulation. Additionally, he is interested in novel 3D reconstruction algorithms, particularly their implementation on massive-memory compute clusters (both CPU and GPU).
Dr Elena Konstantinopoulou
Research fellow, Faculty of Medicine
Elena is a biologist and focuses on the biomedical aspects of 3D XRH imaging and 3D image data processing. She also works on sample preparation protocols and workflow optimisation.
Dr Stephanie Robinson
Research fellow, µ-VIS
Dr Robinson is a post-doctoral research fellow who works on 3D imaging and functional modelling of microlymphatic networks in both clinical and pre-clinical samples. Although her focus is on pulmonary networks, she also works on dermal and pancreatic lymphatic networks.
